"Huh? Kill ourselves?" Hu Tao found this playstyle a bit hard to understand.
Cyno explained, "After we self-inflict a wound, the Witch is very likely to save us. At that point, not only can we gain the Witch's trust, but we also waste one of their antidotes, which will greatly increase our chances of winning."
Everyone thought about it carefully and realized that doing so indeed seemed to have many benefits.
But Lyney proposed a different idea: "What if the Witch doesn't save us? Then we'd be down one teammate and also lose a chance to kill."
Everyone pondered back and forth, feeling that no matter what they did, it wasn't completely foolproof.
If it were a regular Werewolf game, they certainly wouldn't have this much time to think, but today they had a whole night.
Xavier yawned and said, "Have you all decided? There's no perfect solution. If there were, I'd just declare you winners."
So, everyone stopped agonizing and decided to randomly pick someone to eliminate.
The Werewolves began their outing, inspecting every room.
With Xavier's help, they arrived at Bennett's room.
They found Bennett sound asleep, and while speechless, they gave up on eliminating Bennett.
His behavior definitely marked him as a civilian; if he were a God, how could he be sleeping so early?
So, from this, it could also be seen that this Werewolf game would contain all sorts of intricate details, making it far more interesting than the usual way.
Next, the four arrived at Fischl's room.
After Fischl heard movement outside her door, she immediately lay in bed and began to feign sleep.
And under Xavier's ability to block detection, Fischl also didn't know who these four people were.
Unlike Fischl, the four carefully observed Fischl.
"Hmm~ I think Fischl is definitely feigning sleep, what do you all think?"
Eula observed for a moment and stated her opinion.
Veteran player Cyno agreed with Eula's point: "I also think she's feigning sleep, which means she should have a role."
However, they didn't immediately choose who to eliminate, as they might be able to get useful information from others.
They continued their inspection, arriving at Xiangling's room.
Hearing the commotion outside, Shenhe immediately sat up.
"They're… they're here, boo hoo hoo, the Werewolves aren't going to eliminate me, are they?"
Xiangling trembled and shrank into her covers in fear.
Before the room door even opened, Shenhe pushed it open, holding a long spear and looking at everyone.
"Do you intend to kill Xiangling?"
This left the few of them at a loss.
Lyney quickly explained, "Miss Shenhe, this is just a game, we're not really going to kill anyone."
"But even so, you are not allowed to kill Xiangling."
The few exchanged glances and decided against it.
Besides, looking at Xiangling, it was better to give her more game experience.
The few only took a distant glance at Xiangling before heading to the last room.
"Damn it, why am I the Idiot? How could This Daddy, be the Idiot?!"
At this moment, Itto tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and was very angry.
He was still bothered by getting the Idiot card.
And just then, he heard movement outside the door, immediately burrowed into his covers, and also began to feign sleep.
"How about we eliminate Itto? He's at least a recognized God."
Hu Tao still suggested getting rid of Itto.
"I still recommend self-inflicting a wound to trick the Witch into using her potion," Cyno, however, didn't think so.
After inspecting a round, everyone still hadn't made a move, still considering what to do.
With no other choice, the few finally had to randomly eliminate someone.
They used a pen on the map, spinning it, and whoever it pointed to, that person would be eliminated.
"Hmm? Bennett?"
When they saw that the person to be eliminated was Bennett, they felt it wasn't surprising.
Given Bennett's unlucky constitution, it was normal for him to be chosen.
"No, no, Bennett is excluded!"
Everyone seemed reluctant to eliminate Bennett, because there wasn't much gain in doing so; they were aiming for the God roles.
As a result, after several more spins, it kept landing on Bennett.
Finally, it landed on someone else.
"Fischl, I think she's a good choice, and I think she should have a role, so she's the one!"
Everyone unanimously decided to eliminate Fischl.
Seeing that the four Werewolves had finally decided on a target, Xavier yawned and said, "Alright, you can go back to sleep. I won't knock on your doors, so you're not allowed to get up again."
The few stretched and returned to their beds; they had nothing else to do now, just go back to sleep.
After confirming that the four Werewolves had returned to their rooms, Xavier then knocked on the door of the Shrine Maiden, who was the Witch.
"Oh my, little one, you finally came to find me. It seems these Werewolves didn't agree, they actually took so long."
The mischievous fox truly lived up to her name; she immediately guessed that the Werewolves had been very divided in their opinions.
"Ahem, even if you ask me, I can't tell you."
Xavier coughed and then led her to Fischl's door.
"The person eliminated tonight is Fischl, so Shrine Maiden, will you use your antidote?"
"Of course, you can also choose not to use the antidote and then randomly poison someone."
This playstyle wasn't unheard of, but very few Witches would do it.
"Oh, it's little Fischl. For her cuteness, I'll save her then."
"However, I want to check her current state. What if this is a Werewolf trying to trick me into using my antidote?"
If it were a face-to-face game, at this point, the Witch should open her eyes while everyone else remains with their eyes closed.
And at this time, the Witch indeed had the opportunity and right to observe the situation of each player.
So Xavier did not refuse.
Using his ability, he quietly allowed the Shrine Maiden to observe Fischl's situation.
At this time, Fischl had already fallen into a dream, her breathing even.
The Shrine Maiden's ears twitched, and she smiled, saying, "The little one's breathing is steady, and her heartbeat is normal. It seems she hasn't gotten out of bed before, so I've decided to save her."
The Shrine Maiden was indeed a natural-born saint for Werewolf; she actually used such a method to observe whether Fischl was a Werewolf trying to trick her into using the antidote.
And this also made Xavier worry about the Werewolves.
This playstyle has many intricate details, and a meticulous existence like the Shrine Maiden could easily find loopholes.
Werewolves, you'd better pray for yourselves!
"Little one, would you like to come sit in big sister's room for a while?"
After sending the Shrine Maiden back, the Shrine Maiden was even enthusiastic, inviting Xavier to come in and sit for a while.
Xavier swallowed, saying, "I'd rather not. I need to go call the Seer to check identities."
After speaking, Xavier left without looking back.
